Good afternoon, professor.

I would like to request a small extension for my assessment.

Unfortunately I completely forgot that I have adhd, and as such I drank a large McDonald's coffee biscoff frappe this morning. I now feel as though I could vibrate into the next dimension with anxiety.

You might be wondering how someone "forgets" that they have adhd? Well... it's the adhd.

Thank you for your understanding,
Aby.

PS: I can definitely recommend the McDonald's coffee biscoff frappe, but probably hold the ritalin chaser..

Topical article related to stupid #RFKJr and what he said about #autism.

In short, experts believe the rise in cases autism (because there is indeed a steep rise) is down to changing diagnosis criteria and awareness.

They also explore the possible causes of autism and it seems it is a complex interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental factors (like viruses). What definitely doesn't cause autism are vaccines nor "cold style of parenting".

This could get really bad. If you are a neurodivergent American and don't have a passport, apply for one TODAY!

Fascism demands a level of conformity that is impossible for most of us.

"high autistic-like trait burden"

"'rescued' low-social monkeys’ ability to respond prosocially"

"at risk of developing social deficits related to autism"

This is language from an actual paper on rhesus monkeys being used to model autism.

Burden. Rescue. Risk. Deficit.

How do these people not recognize that their language is chock full of value judgments? Value judgments don't belong in science, where conclusions are supposed to be based on objective fact.

They've already made up their minds about us. Put another way, they've already made judgments ahead of time. That is, they've already pre-judged us. Or, the most blatantly recognizable way to put it: They are prejudiced.

Hello Chat. I've been pondering how "masking" can do more harm than good; in that light I've noticed my social battery is really low on some days, yet I'm leaving the house unmasked and feeling rather raw.

Is this normal or am I doing it wrong?

The Coalition of Autism Scientists has issued a statement rejecting RFK's "false narrative about the incidence and causes of #autism, instead urging HHS to focus on established, research approaches that already inform the global understanding of autism." http://www.autismpolicyblog.com/2025/05/coalition-of-autism-scientists.html

From STATNews: Autism evaluations are being canceled over fears about a national registry

‘Laughable, if it weren’t so dangerous’: your responses to RFK Jr’s autism stance https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/02/rjk-jr-autism-guardian-readers #RobertFKennedyJr #Children #Society #USnews #Autism #Health

I wrote almost 1500 words today, and I think they're pretty ok.

I have to edit it back, the paper is meant to be 1500 total, and I still have 3 other parts of the question to address. I can see where I've gone over the same points a few different times, so I'll be able to drop words by clearing that up.

I also have to go through and find sources/add citations.. when I write about this sort of thing* I tend to use the Dothraki citation system - "it is known..." and then go back and plug in references because I Know My Shit (and I read extensively). Anyways, that's tomorrow's problem.

I am pretty chuffed with how much I got done, especially considering I hadn't planned to work on it today because I was so frustrated about not getting anything done yesterday.

* the paper is meant to be an article for my Indigenous Australians and Justice subject, outlining the first 6 topics which covered invasion, settler-colonialism, racial ideology, government policy from 1788-1991, Aboriginal peoples relationship with the criminal justice system, and "partnership building" (in 1500 words 🙄)

"Autism Friendly Screening: A Minecraft Movie"

Oh, does it replace Jack Black, who has spent over a decade ignoring autistic people who try tell him that 'Autism Speaks' he fundraises millions for, is largely considered a "hate group" that has caused harm to many autistic people and portrayed autism as a "disease" to be "cured" and compares it to leukaemia?

No? Then go away...

My mind is an immense castle with hundreds of rooms, many of them very dark and locked with seven keys, true Pandora's boxes that no one should ever try to open.
That's actually why I avoid socializing too much and avoiding direct conflicts. Too many people have died, it has been enough.

When Miranda from MIRANDA (1948), Madison from SPLASH (1984), Ariel from THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989), and Aqua from AQUAMARINE (2006) interact with shore folk, they show traits also seen in autistic people interacting with the neurotypical majority.
